To the ONE person that reviewed, thank you. I like constructive criticism. To everyone else, REVIEW!

When Hermione woke up that morning, she got out of her bed and stretched her arms out; remembering the memories of last night. Finally, after a year of waiting she got what she wanted. But something didn't seem right.

The Great Hall-

Hermione walked to the Gryffindor table. That morning she had seen Draco in the common room.

Flashback-

Did you have a nice rest?" Hermione said walking from her room over to the couch where he was currently sitting on.

"Yes. In fact, I had the best sleep in a while." He replied.

"And why is that?" she said, finally by him.

"I was dreaming of you." He said with a huge grin on his face.

"Aw, that's sweet, but was it a perverted sort of dream?" Hermione asked, teasing him. She had a grin on her face, as she walked up to him and poked him in the stomach.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Draco said as he picked up a pillow behind his back, and hit her in the head with it, laughing as she made a weird sound.

"You jackass! I'm going to get you for that!" she yelled as she picked up another pillow and whacked him with it, laughing as he fell on the couch.

The morning went on like that for another 10 minutes before they had to go to the Great Hall for breakfast.

End Flashback

"Hey Hermione! Over here!" Harry screamed as she walked by the table. She looked at where they were sitting. Ron was right across from Harry, and the only seat available was right next to Ron. So, she made her way over there. She sat right next to Ron with a stern look on her face.

"Hello Ronald." She said as serious as possible. Ron just looked at her with as much malice as Voldemort can look at a muggleborn with. Hermione was sort of scared by the look he was giving her, but brushed it off as Harry spoke to her.

"So, Hermione, what did you do after the show?" he asked.

"Draco said he wanted to talk to me, so he brought me to the common room." This sparked Ginny's interest, who was now listening intently to the conversation. "He kissed me and asked me out. I said yes, so now we're boyfriend and girlfriend." She said with a little squeal at the end. Ginny was also squealing.

"Aw, that is so sweet. I wish someone could've done that for me." Ginny said looking at Harry. Ron was now fuming.

"You little bitch! The day you broke up with me you go and screw Malfoy? I can't believe I ever went out with you. You filthy little mudblood!" he screamed. Everyone in the Great Hall went silent, as a sound like the cracking of a whip was heard. Hermione had smacked him, leaving a red hand print on his left cheek. You could see the smoke coming out of Hermione's ears (not literally).

"You bastard! How can you say that to me! You cheated on me with Lavender! How dare you call me a mudblood! At least I don't sleep with anyone that flirts with me!" she screamed. Her eyes shown with fury as she stared him down.

"I'll get you, you bitch. Just when you least expect it." Ron whispered as he walked briskly past her. No one heard the last part, but the look on Hermione's face was enough to tell people that it wasn't pretty. Draco looked at Hermione with concern. He ran over to her.

"Hon, are you okay? What did he say to you?" he asked with genuine concern.

"It was nothing. I'm okay, I guess. Let's go." She said as she took his hand and walked out of the Great Hall. They didn't say anything until they got to the common room. Hermione broke down crying when they reached the entrance. Draco helped her inside and placed her on the couch.

"Hermione, please tell me if you're okay." He said with worry flickering in his silver eyes.

"I'm fine, honestly. I'm just upset that Ron called me that foul name. That's all. I'm fine. No need to worry about little old me." She said with a nervous laugh while wiping her tears with her sleeve.

"Well obviously you're not fine if you're bawling your eyes out." Draco said with a little chuckle.

"I'm fine, really. Can you tell our teachers that I don't want to go to my classes today? I think they'll understand. Well, maybe not Snape. Shit. How am I going to get out of classes when Snape will be on my ass like a horny man on a hooker?" she asked herself.

"I can talk to him for you if you want." Draco said as he laughed from her interesting analogy.

"You would do that for me?" she asked with a small smile playing on her lips.

"Of course. Would you expect any less?" he said with a playful smirk.

"No. Thanks." She said as she got out off the couch and placed her arms around his neck. He put his around her waist as she gave him a big hug.

"Now, I have to go. I'll tell our teachers that you're not feeling up to classes today, okay?" Draco said.

"Okay. Thanks again for this." She said as she got out of his grip.

"No problem. I'll be back to check on you before lunch. I'll bring some up for you and me to eat together." He said as he kissed her forehead and walked out the door.

"Bye." Hermione said meekly as he left. Something didn't feel right to her now that he was gone.

Hermione got bored quickly. She walked over to where she usually puts her books and noticed that she forgot them in the Great Hall. As quick as you can say 'Fizzing Whizbees', she was off. Hermione was on a mission, find her stuff and get back to the common room as soon as possible. Something didn't feel right about leaving, but she had to go.

She walked quickly to the Great Hall. When she got there, she felt very unsafe. The Great Hall seemed different when it was empty. But the problem was, Hermione didn't feel alone. She felt as if someone was watching her. She spotted her books. She ran happily over to them, but was stopped when a hand reached out and grabbed her from behind. The mystery person spun her around. Mystery solved. The 'mystery person' was Ron and he didn't look happy. He had a malicious glint in his eyes.

"I told you I'd get you when you least expected it. But did you listen? I don't think so. You just pranced around the school thinking that I was just bluffing. But you're going to pay for what you did. I'll make you pay. Answer me this one question before I give you your 'punishment'. Are you a virgin?" he asked with the most sadistic grin on his face. Hermione's eyes grew wide. She knew what he was going to do.

Silent tears sprang out of Hermione's eyes as he started to undress her and himself. Hermione couldn't scream for help, because he had gagged her and tied her hands with rope, so hitting him was out of the question.

As Ron took off the last of her clothes all Hermione could think was 'soon it will be over'. Somewhere in the middle, Hermione passed out from the pain. When she woke up, she was alone and naked. She put her clothes back on and sat on one of the tables.

"Why am I here?" she thought to herself as she remembered what happened only an hour ago. She started to sob. She heard footsteps outside the Great Hall. Harder sobs shook her body as the footsteps moved faster until they reached the entrance. The doors opened with a bang as someone ran over to Hermione and pulled her into a hug. Hermione looked up into silver eyes. It was Draco. He was going to the Great Hall to get lunch for Hermione and himself so they could eat together in the common room.

"Hermione, what happened? What's wrong? Why are you here?" he asked with worry in his voice.

"Ron." She said. It was all she could come up with after what had happened. Draco noticed how drained she was. He also took note of how out of place her hair was and bruises on her waist when she moved. Her shirt was also on inside-out. Anger welled up in his eyes.

"Did he… rape you?" he asked, whispering the last part. Hermione just clung to him tighter and sobbed harder than before. Draco got the hint.

"I wanted my first time to be special, and he took that away from me. I mean look at me! I'm pathetic! My first time and I was RAPED!" Hermione screamed as her voice echoed through the Great Hall. She clung to Draco more and sobbed harder into his chest.

"It's not your fault. You're not pathetic. Listen to me. You are not pathetic. If anyone is pathetic, it's Weasley. He raped you." He said in a concerned tone. Draco picked Hermione up into his arms and carried her, bridal style, to the common room as students were walking to the Great Hall for lunch. Everyone stared at Draco carrying a crying Hermione in his arms. He walked past them all and walked to the common room with only one thing on his mind, "Kill Weasley."
